Federated member Vaca Valley Auto Parts of Fairfield, California, is celebrating its 45th anniversary. A family business, Vaca Valley is owned and operated by Jack Martin, his wife Evelyn and their son Trevor.

“We want to congratulate the Martins and the entire Vaca Valley staff on their 45th anniversary,” said Rusty Bishop, CEO of Federated Auto Parts. “The Martin family truly exhibits all the traits that make Federated members so special. They are hard-working, knowledgeable, provide great customer service, give back to community and are always willing to share their expertise with the entire Federated membership. We wish them many more years of great success.”

Jack and Evelyn Martin purchased the remaining shares in 1975 and in 2002, Vaca Valley aligned with Federated. The Martin’s son Trevor currently serves as the company’s president.
